Toyota accelerator pedal recall and spare tire cable recalls
Individuals purchasing a Toyota vehicle in the US should be aware that the vehicle may be subject to NHTSA recall 90L - Potential Floor Mat Interference with Accelerator Pedal Recall or A0E-Severe Corrosion of Spare Tire Carrier. Toyota is currently in the process of finalizing the recall remedy for the affected vehicles, and will be contacting owners of these vehicles by first class mail as soon as the dealers are prepared to have this important remedy performed.
Recall clearance is a requirement to complete the RIV program successfully, and consistent with our policy, no RIV inspection forms will be released for Toyota vehicles unless proof that either the vehicle is not affected by any recall, or if it is, that the defect has been remedied.
The RIV has been in daily contact with Toyota Canada throughout the various campaigns to determine which Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) imported through our program are affected by which recalls; if there is a remedy available; and, if so, whether or not the remedy has been applied.
For information about whether or not your vehicle is affected, and when a remedy will be available, please call 1-888-TOYOTA-8 or 1-888-869-6828 to register with Toyota.
If you have not yet purchased a Toyota vehicle in the U.S. and want to find out more about the recall status on makes and models, please visit http://www.toyota.ca for updated information on recalls.
